DESCRIPTION:Skills: Writing technical reports and theses based in MS Word\
 , Francisco Monteiro\n\nWhat was supposed to be a user-friendly word proce
 ssor gave at one time or another bad experiences to the users of MS Word o
 r dislike of the printed outcome. The prevalent idea in some circles is st
 ill that a long document with figures\, a table of contents and the looks 
 of a professional work require other editing tools\, in particular when th
 e document contains many mathematical expressions. Did the MS solution pro
 gress in the mean time? This talk looks at what is possible to get from a 
 solution based in MS Word\, Visio and the Math Type add-on.\n\n\nResearch:
  Near real-time analysis of high speed video for sprinting\, Robert Harle\
 n\n\nHigh speed video has long been used in sports coaching scenarios.  In
  most disciplines\, however\, there is not enough time to analyse the vide
 o for even the smallest technical point\, before another repetition is to 
 be performed. Analysis therefore tends to be offline\, meaning feedback ta
 kes days rather than the seconds.  I will talk about how\, as part of the 
 EPSRC SESAME grant\, we are hoping to provide basic analysis (foot contact
  times\, stride segmentation) within seconds of a sprinter completing a re
 petition.  I will discuss the video analysis we use\, the on-body sensors 
 that have been tried\, the results to date and the plans for the future.\n
